Let them boycott. Blizzard already blinked before and suffered the consequences.  I hate to see Blizzard bowing down to CCP again, especially when it’s not even the Chinese government that’s making the demand, so why self-censor?  Just let them lose the matches, Blizzard have been re-broadcasting old matches on stream…
